Linear systems with signed solutions

From MaRDI portal





Linear systems, \(Ax= b\), for which the sign patterns \(A\) and \(b\) completely determine the set of sign patterns of vectors in the solution set are studied. These systems generalize the existing notion of sign-solvable linear systems. Linear systems with signed solutions are characterized in terms of two classes of matrices. The first class of \(L\)-matrices, plays a central role in the study of sign-solvable linear systems. The second class is new and generalizes the class of \(S^*\)-matrices that arise in sign-solvable linear systems. Several constructions for the new class of matrices are given. After the introduction section, there are sections on signed null-spaces; characterization of signed null-spaces; systems with signed solutions; and signed row-space.
